Pictures: One injured in house fire that gutted Cardiff home

One person has been injured after a huge blaze tore through the roof of a home in Cardiff.

One person has been injured after a huge blaze tore that through the roof of a home in Cardiff and sent fumes spreading across a city district.

Emergency crews were called to Penmaes in Pentyrch at 12.39pm on Thursday, November 8, after a fire broke out on the first floor of the two-storey home.

One male, who was not in the building at the time of the fire, was treated at the scene by paramedics for minor burns.

A large section of the property’s roof was destroyed after the fire ripped through the top floor of the property.

Eyewitness Rhys Davies, 29, who lives in the area, said: "I could see all the smoke billowing out across the village. I took a little walk around and I could see the house up in flames, and that’s when the fire brigade and police arrived."

Mr Davies said a crowd of about 30 people from the neighbourhood gathered after becoming aware of the fire.

He said: "When I got there the top half of the house was engulfed in flames. The roof had caved in and there were flames 10ft high coming out of the roof.

"At one point the smoke filled the street and it was going across the whole village of Pentyrch."

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said no one was inside the building when the blaze broke out.
